Shadows of the Sand

Listening to everyone, and all of the stories and explanations, Koroshi takes a minute to think about what to do. Although while he is thinking he is hugged by the child, who tells him that he wasn't defenseless, and that he can take care of himself. This reminding Koroshi a lot of his brother Echo, who never shied away from a fight, no matter how much the odds were stacked against him. "It appears that they were having a spar but it some how got out of hand, thanks for trying to stop it" As Koroshi says this he looks over at Vergil, smiling as he controls the arms to release him. After doing so he looks toward Koaru "If you wanted to come here for a vacation, why didn't you come to the village? You could've stayed in one of our inns" The Kazekage says with a laugh, before continuing to speak "Also when sparing next time do it without weapons, they are cowardly, and can hurt or kill whoever you are sparing with" Once Koroshi finishes saying this he controls the earth to release Koaru as well, seeing as this was just a situation filled with mistakes, and misunderstandings, and no one seemed to want to kill anyone.

If nothing is said or done after Koroshi releases everyone, he looks toward the group of people saying the following "Now would you all like a lift back to the village? Or would you like to go else where?" Offering to fast travel them to either Suna, or the Leaf village.

Koaru rolled his eyes at Vergil's remarks. Koaru wondered why Vergil did not find shame in the fact that he considered a genin shinobi of his own village to be "defenseless". The last time Koaru checked, even students in the ninja academy learn basic self defense skills. What's worse, Vergil explained what he thought to be Koaru's true motives, evidenced by Koaru's use of bladed weapons, to which Koroshi would soon concur. Austin countered Vergil's underestimation of his own comrade, which Koaru would appreciate. Koaru sighed, and accepted his fault, slightly with relief as Koroshi had just released his restraints. 

"Ahh, you are so kind, Mr. Kazekage sama. But I fear I have overstayed my welcome. A lift to Konoha would be much obliged."

Koaru tried his best to diversify his vocabulary, out of respect for the Kage before him, but could be seen struggling to do so. Koaru returned all his weaponry to his pouch. He would then turn to where Austin Nara, who grilled Koaru with suspicion, and Vergil Hyuuga stood.

"Erm, sorry guys. Maybe next time we can meet on friendlier terms hehe..."

Vergil stands in silence while the others speak. His gray eyes look towards the floor briefly after he realizes that nothing would happen to the person attacking the Suna ninja. He wonders why his head did not roll the moment the attack proceeded, maybe his kage was nice after all. Looking towards Austin, Vergil remains quiet accepting the mild scolding. While it is true a ninja of Sunagakure No Sato would not be defenseless, Vergil did not know at the time that the boy was indeed a ninja of the village, due to him not bearing any forms of identification. Maybe he shouldn't have intervened? "I will walk alone, if you don't mind. I take it that our meeting still stands? Until then, Koroshi...If it is to be so, we will meet again." His last sentence meant for the Konoha shinobi. After this is said, Vergil turns around, and attempts to exit the cave. His gaze never shifts towards Austin, or Koaru as he walks away. Was he embarrassed? No. As he believes his actions, and the ones planned, were befitting of any ninja, mainly the ones whom plan on protecting their comrades, but it seemed today was not the day for that. While he may not be completely satisfied, he is happy to have caught a glimpse of the kage's power before their spar. At least now he knows just how far away he is from reaching the boy. Indeed, whenever the spar transpires, he will be ready.

{Exit.}

Austin looks over at the kage and tells him "No thanks if you mind I would walk home to thank you I got some things on my mind." Says austin to the kage while austin walks off he takes out a picture of when he was a kid with him of his mom and dad. As tears start to form down his cheek he walks out the cave and into the desert waiting for another day to return.

(Exit)

Hearing that his ninja wish to walk back home by themselves, he nods and allows them to do so, knowing that if either of them get in trouble they would have someone close by to help. This leaving only Koaru to deal with, who has accepted Koroshi's offer to give him a lift back to Konoha "Alright now take my hand, and hold on tight!" Koroshi says while extending his right arm for him, his hand open. Should he do as he is told and grab Koroshi's hand the two would vanish from sight, their forms quickly passing through Asgard, and appearing before the Leaf village gates.

"Alright here you are, now make sure to tell my brothers I said hi!" Koroshi says with a smile as he attempts to let go of the mans hand.

Each ninja slowly took their leave, one after the other. Before grabbing hold of the Kazekage's hand, to warp back to the Leaf village, Koaru directed his attention to his friend, Kenzo Uchiha. Koaru withdrew his hand, then bowed before the Kazekage, saying, 

"Excuse me, kazekage sama"

Koaru rushed over to Kenzo and began to discuss Kenzo's arrival in the Wind country. After a moment, Koaru would turn to Koroshi and say,

"Change of plans, sir. I have yet another rival somewhere within these deserts, whom we must find. But, I promise, no more threats of bloodshed ;) .....Kenzo, let's go. He was over this way last time I saw him."

Halfway through the dialogue, Koaru would return his gaze to Kenzo before departing from the caves.

[exit]

Koroshi upon hearing, and seeing the new comer form in front of him, and begin speaking to Koaru, decides to let the two talk and such, seeing as they are both from the same village. Although Koroshi does make sure to keep an eye on the two of them, both visually, and with his doton sensory, should their movements change to be hostile in any way, Koroshi would be alerted, and would act accordingly.

Until such actions are made, the Kazekage simply nods to Koaru, allowing him to go with this person named Kenzo. He will have to remember to ask Navi, or one of his brothers about these strange ninja, as well as the person named Jason, and what importance he holds.

Naturally, one would grow tense when surrounded by foriegn shinobi. This much Kenzo expected from the silent man that stood before him. The man that held the Kazekage hat, Koroshi Uchiha, one of two brothers of Viper Uchiha, received no acknowledgement from Kenzo, except an omnious crimson glare from the corner of Kenzo's eye behind the tint of his glasses as the boy exited the caves silently following Koaru. Kenzo tosses his hood on, his countenance completely obscured beyond recognition by shadow that draped over it.
